For the third year in a row, our Y5/6 Basketball Team qualified for the finals of the Central Venue League, which was held once again at Ellis Guilford.

Like last year, there were no knockout matches – instead Whitemoor played three games back to back (against Nottingham Academy and the other qualifiers from our heats: Southwark and Scotholme).

In the first of these games, Whitemoor started like a flash. Although their enthusiasm sometimes got the better of them, our players managed to overcome Nottingham Academy 8-5.

Next up were our SHINE Multi Academy Trust friends, Scotholme Primary. In what was an incredibly skillful and hard fought game, Scotholme inflicted a 6-4 defeat on Whitemoor.

Our final game pitted us against a regular opponent, Southwark. To guarantee a medal Whitemoor knew they had to win the match, which they thankfully did (8-6).

When all the points were totaled at the end, Whitemoor were delighted to find out that they'd finished in silver medal position. A massive well done to all 11 players for their superb efforts on the night.

Also, a massive thanks to all the parents, guardians, ex-pupils and staff who came to show their support over the three nights which the league was held. We think Whitemoor's crowd was 25 strong at one point!
